I'm English of Irish and Welsh descent (plus a few other things) but I regard my home as Ireland (my daughter and her family finished building our house in Co. Cork and are living in it). I only agreed to come to Australia in the first place because I thought I'd be home after six months. In three weeks' time we'll have been here four years and expect to be here another two. Everyone tells us that once we've been here five years we won't want to leave.
